Im looking to fit some additional lighting in the foot wells.

Is it best to go from one of the switches in the doors or from the center interior light.

If you go from the exsisting light, can you just run a feed direct from the + and - terminals already in there?

I have been searching on this but i seem to have come to a dead end.

I did the same mod on a previous car,,,,,,,Easy way is a fused suppy to the positive of the light and the negetive to the door switch.

Any idea whats the best fuse set up to use?

Would i have to run 2 negative wires, 1 from the passenger and 1 from the drivers door switches and join them if im using one LED wiring kit and i want both doors to work the lights?

This may assist.  Personally I found running the lights from the interior unit a pain in the proverbial.
